Politics

Why was this not discovered and investigated four years ago? American journalism is disgraceful.

Addendum: Journalists are supposed to be curious, skeptical, and, to a degree, cynical. James Taranto is the opposite of these things: he is incurious to the point of being credulous. His mind is made up that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, and anyone who thinks otherwise, or even remains agnostic about the matter, is a "conspiracy nut." I long for the days of serious journalism.
